I'd probably say something like, just another car I can't drive. The trolls would go nuts. Insensitive monsters. How do you tell a blind person he's looking at a picture of a car? You can't win. And I think one of the problems is that some people, they see disability as one thing. It's not. Blindness is like infinite combinations of psychological and physical impacts on people.

You could have relatively good sight, be miserable. Vice versa, everything in between. Blind people, we're all different. We're like snowflakes. Not two of us the same. And if a lot of us fall, people panic. And I was reflected, I was reflected in all this when I opened Twitter to see how the storm was doing. And it was, it was finally fading. But one tweet did catch my attention.

At, finally somebody with some skin in the game wrote, I watched this as a newly acquired sight loss woman. And I found Jamie the cup of tea with no sympathy had been needen. Being Glaswegian, I got both his personality and his patter. And that decided it for me.

Is that high enough?

Is that high enough?

Is that as high as it goes? Thank you very much. Good evening. So, October 2022, I was invited to be a guest on the long-running satirical panel show, Have I Got News For You. And if you're not familiar with the format, the show features two teams, each with a guest captained by comedy legends, Paul Martin and Ian Hislop. And together we answer questions humorously on that week's news.

The show is an institution. It's been running for over 30 years and its panels are a kind of who's who of comedy greats. So to be invited on, it was a massive highlight in my stand-up career. Only slight concern. The show is riddled with loads of video and picture rights. Which is a kind of unique challenge for a blind comedian.

But I wasn't worried, right, because in this game, you know, my concerns are more about, you know, how do I get to stage, you know, without killing myself or somebody else. So a few pictures, I wasn't bothered. I was just excited. And the day of the recording arrived and I was collected from St. Pancras Station in this air-conditioned Mercedes Benz. Like a superstar. It was driven through London.

Up to the studio where I was greeted by a runner and I was whisked down to hair and makeup. Then it was up to this audience-packed studio where amidst this light flashing din, I met the captains, you know, Paul and Ian, who are two comedy heroes of mine. And we were applauded into our seats and from nowhere I was given a bottle of water and a layer of anti-shine powder. There was some shouting.
